Mo' Wax

Shelter day 175, September 11th, 2020—installment 39 of live-streamed, all-vinyl DJ sets while we’re sheltering during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this mix we’ll shelter in some of my favorite cuts from the Mo’ Wax record label. The Mo’ Wax sound was a foundation of our Mushroom Jazz weekly I did with Mark Farina in the early 90s. The label introduced me to many amazing artists I still follow today, including: Luke Vibert, DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Air, and many others. Also the designers of the early records, Ian Swift “Swifty” and Futura 2000, were a huge influence on me as a designer at the time.
